But, I don't think the Amazon workers get paid/rewarded for efficient packaging, rather, it's more about how many packages can you ship in an hour, so if that's the box that's on hand, that's the box it's going in.
i toured the Chattanooga facility. the workers don't have a choice about packaging. the goods come to them on a belt and they have instructions what to put them in. an algorithm decides what the packaging is going to be and prepares the label for them. it would cut into efficiency if a real person had to make a choice every time. sometimes when it's really out of whack the worker can report it for future reference.
